I don't understand why no newspapers have called for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Maybe a letter writing campaign of Letters to the Editor asking why they have not called for Trump’s impeachment might move them. If enough newspapers did so, Republicans in Congress might be moved to do.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Trump believes he was elected to be a dictator, not a disrupter. It makes no difference as to whether he is popular or not, he has seized so much power that he believes he can do anything wants. Power goes to those who take it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/o...

ELON IS TRYING TO BUILD OUT HIS FASCIST GRANDFATHER’S FANTASY “The Technate will encompass the entire American Continent from Panama to the North Pole because the natural resources and the natural boundary of this area make it an independent, self-sustaining geographical unit.”

Here's an idea--make Musk pay damages to all the probationary employees that he illegally fired- both back wages and pain and suffering (which i would put at $1,000,000 per employee.) Also enjoin Musk from having any role in the Federal government, based on his illegal and malicious coduct.

I cannot understand why Trump wants to destroy the United States, the Constitution and our Democracy. The only explanation that I can see is that he is a puppet of Putin, who wants to take over our country without firing a shot. Or Trump is just insane. Or both.

You are up to date.
